Summary
-
Whilst we want to be there with you whilst you navigate everything that is neurodivergence, its vital that we signpost you to people that we love, respect and have learnt from.
“when me and Jess first started creating this toolkit back in 2020, it was because the medical diagnosis process was taxing, stressful and.. not very straight forward!
we’d realised pretty early on that getting to know your brain was one of the most helpful things we could do — and so consistently since 2020, we’ve been updating this toolkit every time we have another powerful realisation about life as autistic ADHDers.
from recognising traits to how it affects us day to day, or at work and how to nourish ourselves in neurodivergent friendly ways, we’ve squeezed it into over 150 pages of this toolkit that encapsulates 5+ years of our evolving journey so far!”
